Mitch said he wanted to see how this team plays with Nash before he makes moves. Well, he's been back. Make them.

Honestly, the Lakers could have the back-to-back championships Pau and this team still wouldn't be great. This team is that pathetic right now.

We'd actually be undefeated if we had THAT Pau.

Back to Back Championship Pau would put up 17-20 on average especially with as many open opportunities he'd get off of Steve Nash and we'd be ripping people up with the pick and roll like him and Kobe did when pau rolled effectively.

I'm also pretty sure the games we lose by 5 when Gasol has scored 4 points wouldn't have happened X_X

Pau needs to go, he isn't gonna find himself for more than a half.

"Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen."

Anybody who's watched a few Laker games this season could tell that Nash wasn't going to solve this teams' problems. I don't even know why the waiting for Nash to return was necessary in the first place.

Offense runs better and the other blaring holes are apparent.

Bench 1 position, Gasol's ineffectiveness when he doesn't roll to the basket. Etc

These things were apparent when Nash wasn't here, but it's VERY apparent now because Nash is a vast improvement over Duhon and Morris that other weaknesses can be seen.

Unless Mitch is gonna wait for Blake.

This team needs Pau gone, a scorer on the second unit, perimeter defender(s), and athleticism. Blake isn't solving any of that.

It's not surprising in the sense that I don't think the front office will make the right moves on time. They put all their eggs in Nash coming back despite it being apparent that his return wasn't going to make the Lakers drastically better.

I also worried before that the Lakers were going to hesitate to make moves early if they needed to because they're just so used to waiting teams out to get the best offer.

At this point, waiting is the wrong move to do. Pau and the team are getting worse.

I dunno, I still have faith in Mitch that he'll ship Pau's ass out, and soon.
